Kaiser Chiefs Persuaded Mel C To Consider Spice Girls Reunion

(andPOP) - Former SPICE GIRL MELANIE CHISHOLM's U-turn over a possible reforming of the girl band has been credited to British group the KAISER CHIEFS.

The singer has always denied the group would reunite, and last month she admitted, "I have had mixed feelings about a reunion but I am against it."

But the star now admits she would approve a get-together with former bandmates Melanie Brown, Victoria Beckham, Emma Bunton and Geri Halliwell.

And Kaiser Chiefs drummer Nick Hodgson insists he played a part in her decision.

He says, "I said, 'You should do it - now is the perfect time.' Mel said, 'Do you really think?' I said, 'Yeah.'

"So she said: 'Right, I'll do it.' I asked, 'Are you kidding?' and she said 'No.'"
